Compressive behavior of CFDST columns: Effects of thin-walled inner steel tubes
Abstract Concrete-filled double skin steel tubular columns with large hollow ratios (LHR-CFDST), as quintessential elements within offshore wind turbine structures, have received significant attention in contemporary times. As the scale of this type of structure continues to expand, an effective strategy to reduce steel consumption involves elevating the diameter-to-thickness (D/t) ratios of the steel tubes. Presently, there is a dearth of studies that explore the performance of LHR-CFDST columns in the case of thin-walled inner steel tubes. Four LHR-CFDST columns with varying D/t ratios of the inner tubes and one double-skin hollow steel tubular column were produced and tested under axial compression. The study encompassed an investigation into failure modes, local buckling behaviors, and ductility characteristics. The local buckling performance index of specimens with varying D/t ratios differed by up to 16.9%. Furthermore, the verified finite element model was subsequently employed for mechanistic analyses pertaining to the sandwiched concrete's stress distributions, and so on. When the peak loads were attained, the maximum variation in the stress values of the concrete of the specimens with different D/t ratios reached 50.4%. Subsequently, a multi-parameter impact analysis was applied to give a reasonable limit on the D/t ratio (225) of the inner steel tube for engineering design. Finally, the prevailing ultimate strength formulas outlined in established specifications were adapted by integrating the characteristics uncovered through this investigation.
Highlights Thin-walled inner tubes have a significant effect on CFDST with large hollow ratios Inner tube's D/t ratio is positively correlated with the local buckling Stress distribution and contact stresses in concrete are inextricably linked to the inner tube's D/t ratio Multi-parameter impact analysis gives a reasonable limit of the D/t ratio for design The equation considering the effect of buckling predict the CFDST columns with thin-walled inner tubes more accurately
